"The property was as advertised. It was clean and comfortable. I would have preferred not to pay a cash deposit though for the wifi router- as you do not get this back until you leave. As I am UK the 20 Euro at end not so useful. The surrounds pool and location is wonderful. Such easy access to the beach via walk or train. The beach is breathtaking along with view of the Ria Formasa. I will return. The local staff friendly. I was made to feel welcome."

"Our sea-view room was as requested - spacious, clean and with twin beds. Staff were very helpful throughout and the place was kept spotless. Excellent pool and leisure facilities. Very good buffet breakfast. Olhao markets are a short walk away with lots of good restaurants nearby. The best ones book up early. The railway and bus stations are a 20 minute walk if you want to explore further. All in all an excellent stay and we would certainly stay in the future."
